For me, HN gives a sort of window into the American SF techno views and mindset about the world. It's quite interesting to read their ideas and opinions. It's a bubble like other places but it doesn't mean you won't learn something.

Last I ran the numbers (which was a couple years ago) the HN community was at least 50% outside the US.
But the assumption is that the US userbase is concentrated in the bay area. So its mostly people in or near SF and the like.
You're right that it's a common assumption! But that same analysis showed that only about 10% of HN users are physically near the Bay Area.
Is there a recent publish of that user base analysis for the public?
how many of them are posting and who gets the upvotes?
